Norman Booth wrote the book on Landscape graphics, Dec 8 2008
By C. Holland - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Residential Landscape Architecture (Hardcover)
My rating is really 4 1/2 - the only reason I'm not giving it a 5 is that I wish the book contained color plates on using markers to color landscape designs, to go along with the extensive and very useful section on using colored pencils.This is an invaluable reference work for the landscape designer. Highly recommended - worth the price!

A Review from the Perspective of the Novice Home Owner, Oct 28 2009

Full Disclaimer. I bought this book specifically for the purpose of trying to design my yard without having the to dish out the exhorbitant cost of having a professional landscaper feng shui my yard. I am not a college student (probably the intended audience) but felt that being a reasonably intelligent person, I would be able to use some basic concepts to create my own design.I found that the book was pretty easy to follow and tied together some basic concepts related to design. It was certainly a useful tool but you must be prepared to read and learn. Again, as a new home owner with a blank slate of a yard, I would recommend going to nice areas around you and take some pictures of the more appealing landscapes and pay attention. Search around on the internet.
If you are more interested in more of a pictorial representation with some side notes or bullet points then this is not the book for you. This is a college level book intended for perspective landscape designers.
